DEWALT 20V Max XR Cordless Drill Combo Kit, Brushless, 2-Tool (DCK283D2)

I've had the drill for almost two years, and generally it's been pretty good. Good enough that I have repurchased the drill. Bad enough that it's literally shooting flames out the back when using it now, so I had to repurchase it -- as it's clearly unsafe to use if it's on fire. I have no idea if it's still under warranty, and there's no obvious way to contact Dewalt. update: I was in contact back/forth with Dewalt for nearly a month. They asked for proof of purchase, and I sent that to them. Then provided me with a free label to ship them the drill. After they had the drill, they then told me it's no longer under warranty, but fortunately for them they now have any evidence of a class action lawsuit about their drills catching fire in their possession. They offered to "repair" it for nearly full cost of the drill. I'm not sure why they couldn't have simply told me they were wasting my time immediately after sending them my proof of purchase which is when they would have known the warranty was no longer valid.

Order these on a whim. I needed some new Dewalt's and saw this package deal for 20v Lithium drill set. Now, I will say this - Title is slightly deceiving as it's 20v Max and 12v base. Still does the job and works extremely well!! Used it to put my 4.5" lift kit on my 92 Jeep and had no issues for the most part. Battery life is decent. For consistent pick up and use I got about a good 4 solid hours before she needed to change the battery ( That is undo a bolts, put down, line up new shackles thread on new bolts and then use dewalt to set them and lock them down). PROS: Lightweight, Great Price, Good Power (will lock on bolts super tight), Nice bag, quick charging times CONS: States 12v with 20v Max - Not a true 20v, The LED light on the Impact drill is located under the bit, makes it hard to see what you are doing above it to line something up.. Overall - For the price and what you get, I couldn't be happier! It helped me get the job done and will be using it for other jobs as well!

My old 18volt out lasted and had more power, drill last about 10 minutes when drilling batteries don't last half as long as my old 18v dealt a, very unsatisfied, only reason I bought it was couldn't find an 18v setup to replace mine that broke, in the middle of a job so had to have something, looking at makita my father in law has them and had to borrow his the last couple days so I could get the job completed. Not happy at all. Called the help line and the person pretty much treated me as if I was an idiot. Did you charge the battery. Absolutley no help at all. Tried to ask about returning it or refund she had no clue, tried calling dewalt and got no where. Going to try and return it, also smells like its burning up. Both units

Have many Dewalt tools and like the products. Before purchasing saw a U Tube review that said SOME of the drills in this kit have a problem with the bits falling out of the drill chuck when the trigger is released. So tested drill upon arrival and sure enough the bits kept falling out-the drill stops VERY fast and twists in your hand from torque. Spoke to customer service and without any problem from them sent it out-prepaid- for repair. Got it back with same problem. Now am sending to different service center (want it fixed and did not request a refund) for replacement with a tested drill. BTW, the impact driver and batteries in kit work great. Company told me if drill does not work properly upon return, they will give me full refund UPDATE: Sent drill to 2 service centers and couldn't seem to fix it. Dewalt upgraded to better drill and gave me 2 new batteries and a charger at no charge U should be aware that service tech stated that this is a "consumer" drill as compared to their more professional drill kits for more money. That said, there is an expectation that it will work upon arrival.

Don't bother with thinking you'll save some money by buying some low budget 18-Volt tools... The 20 Volt DeWalt tools are like having a NASCAR, and everything else is just a Prius... Bought this set for my 23 yr old Grandson. Me, I build Movie Sets (for over 35 years), and I'm frequently on Location out in the middle of nowhere; so I have a full collection for myself. Note: 20 Volt DeWalt is the ONLY Brand you'll ever see on a Film Crew Set.

Fan of dewalt but this set didn't cut it sparks flying out the back and a kick when you let off trigger . Just pay a little more and go brushless smoother and no sparks . I work around flmaables at times and this definitely what you don't want is sparks flying out the breather vents

Disappointing entry from Dewalt. I bought this to replace the older set I had and the lighter lithium batteries looked appealing. Problem is, these things don't last. I would get hours of use out of my old set. For a big project I could go all day on one battery. These last less than an hour on a full charge. Very disappointing. Every project takes twice as long because we have to keep charging the batteries. Two stars because when its fully charged, the tools work fine. If you're looking for something to hang a set of curtains or a picture on the wall, this will work fine. If you are somebody that uses your tools frequently, look elsewhere.
